Comment/Synopsis

During the Napoleonic wars between England and France, Captain Hornblower (Gregory Peck), his men and his ship take on the French navy in this adaptaion of the C S Forester novel. This is a good period piece and although not great the acting is solid and the action scenes are OK for the period.
